KALSEY BEACH

The power of events is incredible - - so is the impact of a wonderful team! I have loved being a part of thousands of events that impact our community for the greater good!

I am in my element when on-site at an event juggling all the logistics or coming up with a creative solution to an event curveball. I also love to weave the event goals and mission into the event experience in meaningful ways. Collaborating with our clients is such a joy!

Outside of Do Good Events, I love exploring the Twin Cities and new restaurants with my husband, spending time outside with our daughter, Kenley, on the lake or at the park and making memories with friends and family!

What is your DGE super power: This is tough! I am able to negotiate contracts to create a win-win for our clients and vendor partners…and navigate the waters of a small business with a lot of wonderful personalities under one roof!

Which store would you like to max out your credit card? Tough choice - maybe a place like Macys so I could purchase something for every room of the house and my closet!

One thing I’ve Checked Off My Bucket List: I have been lucky to do quite a few - skydive, surf, bungee jump, scuba dive the barrier reef, run the Boston Marathon, eat my way through Italy!

ABOUT KALSEY

Director of Experience

KARA SOUTHER

I love connecting people, and providing a platform to help bring individuals together is a big reason why event planning is my passion. I bring over ten years of experience to Do Good Events, both in the nonprofit and corporate worlds, in project management, events, and launching programs focused on improving logistics or building communities.

I enjoy working with clients to help make their vision come to life and provide them with tools to make the process as easy as possible. I’m not someone who fears the “unknown,” and I work hard to find solutions for every unique problem before they arise so clients can focus on enjoying their events.

My greatest joy is spending time with my husband Chris and my daughters Adelaide and Lyla. We love to travel, bike around the Twin Cities, listen to live music, and watch movies.

What is your DGE super power: Finding Solutions in Crisis Moments

Which store would you like to max out your credit card? Not a shopper, but a trip around the world would be fun.

One thing I’ve Checked Off My Bucket List: Becoming a mom

One thing still on it: Road trip around the U.S. with my husband

Something you should know: I have ordination credentials with Hennepin County if you need any help getting married!

HANNAH HEGMAN

After many years in the non-profit event space, I have come to know that events are my jam. I have had the opportunity to work with amazing companies and non-profits to raise funds, strengthen the awareness of their brand, and build community. I am thrilled to be on this power team at Do Good Events as I continue to grow and refine my craft as an event planner.

I thrive on the unique challenges that each event presents and doing whatever it takes to strategize, organize, and execute to over come these challenges. I am energized by the excitement, business, and unique character of events. Living in my strengths is extremely important to me in my every day life and I am blessed to have found a career that allows me do this every day.

When I am not working on the next big event, you will find me spending time with my husband, Dana, and our beautiful boy, Titus. My happy place is anytime spent on the lake, camping, or biking. When the winter keeps me indoors, I will spend hours putting together puzzles, watching movies, and enjoying copious amount of apple cider and tea.

What is your DGE super power: My super power is taking my clients dreams, pinterest boards, and pie in the sky ideas and helping them realize that it CAN be a reality with just a little but of creative thinking.

Which store would you like to max out your credit card? Does it have to be an one place?!?! I could easily go wild at a Home Depot or do some major shoe shopping at Opitz - or just let me loose on AMAZON!

One thing I’ve Checked Off My Bucket List: To run a destination 1/2 marathon before I turn 30 - Honolulu Hapalua 2018

I love focusing on the smallest of details and seeing the pieces come together which is why I am very passionate about events. It’s also a joy to work with so many wonderful people and turning their ‘big picture’ ideas into reality. I am thrilled to be part of the Do Good Events team and bring my experience within the corporate sector, from project management and events to marketing and customer service.

My detailed nature, perfectionist mentality, and commitment to improve processes help to make events successful, which I look forward to bringing to your event!

My favorite activities including spending time with my husband Pierre, family get-togethers, traveling, and house projects! I am also extremely competitive which is why I love sports. In fact, I am a little too invested as a MN Vikings fan (during the season it may or may not dictate my mood), but I’m always hopeful for the next year!

What is your DGE super power: Attention to detail

Which store would you like to max out your credit card? Currently, Home Depot...so many house projects on the list!

I love taking someone’s event idea and bringing it to life for them! From being a friendly face at the door, to helping connect others, to continuing to learn from other hospitality professionals, I enjoy all aspects of the planning process. My organization and time management skills help me create a set plan to make the day go as perfect as possible.

I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and dogs in my free time. Reading, cooking, working out, and watching funny shows on Netflix are also a few of my favorite things.

Fewer things make me happier than organization, creative environments, executing someone’s vision, making things happen, and bringing people together for a common purpose. Ask anyone who knows me, and they would say I was meant to be in the event industry. My passion to make a difference drives me every day and I can’t wait to help make a stride in your next event!

When I’m not immersed in event coordination or checking a task off of my to-do list, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, exploring new places, running, Fixer Upper, anything sweet, and warm weather!

After four years of event planning in the educational sector, I am thrilled to join the Do Good Events team as an Event Manager. In my role, I love seeing an event come to fruition over the planning process. My attention to detail, organizational skills and creative solutions make event planning a natural fit for me. I believe events are a great way for individuals and corporations to instill a sense of community while creating memories.

As a self-proclaimed foodie, I love trying new cafes, coffee shops and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. I have a passion for exploring new territories through my travel ventures and giving back to the community through volunteer projects.
